God, you sure would need a steady hand for this. DD has cranked out probably hundreds of guitars and has had lots of practice but I would advise caution for someone trying that for the first time. A belt sander takes material off so freaking fast.
Michael Gajeski said:A tip i picked up from back porch mojo was to fret your neck and then use a belt sander to dress it. a few quick passes on both sides will get them nice and flush, and then you can use it to put the bevel on also. after that, a little (VERY little) work with the files to clean everything up and you're in business.
I use Weld-On #16 Acrylic solvent cement from Stew Mac.
I also buy my binding stock from them. It is more costly than say Ebay but I like the quality. The edges are square so there is no prep work involved. I bought some binding stock for a $1 off of Ebay and the edges are very rough. It requires more work than I think its worth to square the edges so I just buy from Stew Mac and pay the premium. My time is far more valuable.
At my last job, I wrote user manuals, set-up guides and such. I kind of miss my writing days so I've taken to doing it here. Hope no one minds.
If anyone is interested in a binding post, I could photo document the next one. I have some zebra and leopard wood I need to mill for some up coming builds. I also plan on trying laminating black and white binding for that classic look.
